'freak,
I got hit by a car while on a bicycle and my injuries weren't that bad. You tore it up good. You're in our prayers.

Wayne P makes a good point. Knowing your local streams really helps. Since I'm in CA, and fish primarily the west, some of my online recipe sources are:

Hey guys. I've been laying low for a while tying me easy gold ribbed hare's ear flies, adams, etc. But i'm running out of ideas and could use some help with some fairly simple dry and wet trout flies. Any patterns would help. Thanks a TON!!!!!!Paintballer, I'm no expert but one of the things that helped me most is picking up a couple of "beginner" books and tying every fly in them:
- Charlie Craven's "Basic Fly Tying"
- Ted Leeson and Jim Schollmeyer's "Benchside Introduction to Fly Tying"
- Peter Gathercole's "Fly Tying for Beginners"
- Skip Morris' "Fly Tying Made Clear and Simple"
Pheasant tail nymph, copper john, woolly buggers (in all colors and sizes), elk hair caddis, e/c caddis, ants, comparadun, griffith's gnat, just to name a few. Hope this helps ;-)

I'm leaning towards one of these three: baby beetle, cripple pmd, or pmd nymph. I'll post my decision by tomorrow morning. Thanks, uh, Huck ;-)

And me too:

Hook: #14 TMC100BL
Thread: Dark olive
Shuck: Brown z-lon
Rib: Brown floss
Abdomen: Gray olive super fine
Wing: Dark deer hair (comparadun natural)
Thorax/Head: Gray olive super fine
Tied Charlie Craven style, adding the wing after the abdomen is dubbed. I'm still pretty new at this (been tying for about 3 months), so any feedback you pros have is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
